    It's a fair enough price,maybe it would cost more buying the kit seperately because when you add shipping,cable, dram and flash it all adds up.You will have to buy transcievers for this lab and also probably a couple of WICs for the 1600s.
    Your lacking a switch but for general config and learning the cisco ios these are ok.For CCNP you probbably should add a couple of 2600s.
    Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$

    Look mate, it all depends on what you want to do.I wouldnt pay that price for that equipment.Dont just look on ebay see a lab and ask here! Search on ebay for the equivalent equip and check the prices.
    You dont need any of that token ring stuff as its not on the exam anymore,theres no point buying equipment you dont need unless you really wanna play with token ring?
    The question is how much are you willing to spend,what protocols you want to practice with and whats your long term goal.If you just want CCNA possibly CCNP buy afew 2500s first to practice with the routing protocols then as you get more familiar with the equipment you can then add some extra equipment like a switch,isdn sim some more powerful routers.Remember if you buy from the US you have to add the VAT onto the price which takes away the advantage of the cheap prices.
